LUCKNOW: In a bid to control the rising incidents of man-animal conflict, the state wildlife board has made some strong recommendations to the state forest department.
One of the several recommendations made by the wildlife board includes halt to the usage of diclofenac, a banned drug. According to experts, the drug is one of the major causes for decline in vulture population in the country. Veterinary doctors still treat livestock with diclofenac. And when the cattle treated with diclofenac dies, vultures prey on them, get infected and die.
The other recommendations of the board include conservation of fossil parks and rock paintings in Mirzapur and Sonbhadra divisions and developing better co-ordination with tourism department for conservation and promotion of the protected areas and sanctuaries.
